Brighton East Dental Clinic: unauthorised access to on-premises patient files
Brighton East Dental Clinic's official notice says ASD's ACSC alerted it on 13 August 2026 to a potential incident. On 17 August 2026 the clinic identified unauthorised access to data on on-premises file servers through its firewall, contained that access, and analysed leaked data. It assesses the access occurred in early April 2026 and involves records from before April 2026: patient contact details (name, address, date of birth, email, mobile), treatment plans, oral X-rays, referrals and treatment history, and private health insurance membership numbers. The clinic has not published a count of affected records. It says it notified OAIC, ACSC and Victoria Police, partnered with IDCARE, and that remediation is complete. This desk does not take actor names or leak sizes from secondary leak-site indexes.
